BU Recruiting Update--Part 5

According to a PuckPreps writer:
"5-star forwards Carter Meyer and Finn Sears are the top two ranked ('09) players in MA. When I spoke with them both last month, they had just finished their freshman year but are advancing their studies this summer with the hope of reaching junior status by the start of the 25-26 season. 4-star forward Sam Pandolfo is doing the same."

They cannot commit until they reach junior status, so it's unlikely that happens before the Aug. 1 window for '09s to commit. All three on the next season's NTDP U17s.

You all probably know this, but just sharing something from NEHJ. They do seem to imply Meyer will head to BU, but say BC has made a run on Sears.

Does this mean tales of our recruiting demise have been greatly exaggerated or is that yet to manifest?

PuckPreps ranked BU's 2025 class #2 behind only Michigan. The 2026 class--with 3 projected first-round picks--could be even better. So, "greatly exaggerated" nails it.
